Purchased on January 29-31, 1956, immediately following Elvis'firstTV Performance on the Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey Show (1/28/56), from 'Strand Record Store' (aka. "John's") of Westfield, Massachusetts,this set has remained in our family, virtuallyUN-touched, for 3 generations.

As quoted in"SunRecords: The Brief History Of The Legendary Record Label" by C. Escott & M. Hawkins (1975), as well as other undisputed expert sources, notably the late-greatJOAN DEARYof RCA, who personally, visually verified them years(1972)beforeSUN 'boots' were ever pressed! These are 'un-punched'
("12-4-8"), and were pressed & issued between Elvis' signing to RCA
(11/25/55) and the date his contract with RCA took effect (1/1/56). In order to press & sell them before Elvis' contract with RCA began andSun's distribution rights ended, these pressings were done hurriedly, randomly, in pressing plants that in many casesSundid not normally use. Therefore, most pressings in this time period were 'un-punched', however,legitimate&original!
